Pochettino anger at 'very bad' defeat

[TottenhamMattSpur]

Not blamin our attackers because we have problems all over de field, but we need to freshen things up in de attacking third, its de one area poch hasn't changed.
Lennon (right) and townsend (left) for chadli & lamela, play as traditional wingers, not this inverted sh*t, soldado for ade, if only we still had holtby to replace eriksen.
Verts and fazio at centre back.
Problem seems to be that poch doesn't know his best 11 yet

"The"

Mate, I really don't understand why he was at fault for yesterday's poor show from 14 Spurs players, a bad team selection, wrong tactics and poor substitution!
Granted he was at fault in the past but we can't blame him for the poor show of these players!

We can, because he sacked a manager that was doing better than anyone in a whole generation and we've been getting worse ever since.
Redknapp was a prat but he was getting results.

Levy has just hired nobodies, nobodies that are young and trendy.
The one time he appointed an older, experienced manager, we go somewhere.

I take no pleasure in being right at the expense of spurs struggling, but we're going to this season and a lot of us predicted it when we started sniffing at Poch.

One of the prime culprits of the Redknapp fraternity. These folk have a tendency to do the following:
1. Have amnesia about nosedives in form in the second halves of two consecutive seasons;
2. Fail to acknowledge that HR had players in their prime and a certain Luka Modrić, who is difficult to replace and is now a vital cog in the Real team;
3. Forget that HR was given great support during his trial and offered a new contract, which he rejected as he thought he was going to get the England job.

None of this is to deny that his team played the best football in years, but we had some dodgy results as well and that included WBA.

 

[Sweetsman]

I forgot to add that the Redknapp fraternity also have it in for every manager since, except Harry-lite aka TS. It makes me wonder whether they also tend to vote for UKIP.

 

[ataggy]

why the hell didnt Jan and/or Fazio play?

 

[UbeAstard]

What an utterly ridiculous response. That manager took over a dead and buried QPR team and, although they got relegated, got them promoted at the first attempt.

And after 5-games this season that manager's team is only 3-points behind ours.

He delivered the best football we have played in decades. If he'd stayed at Spurs who knows where we would be know. We'd certainly be playing much better football than we are now I'd wager.

Jesus wept ...

I dont give a jot how ridiculous you believe it to be. Not one top club was clamouring for him and he took over a QPR side that had a squad anyone in the Nationwide would envy. He has scraped promotion and that squad is certainly not the worst in this league but they are struggling almost as much as Newcastle.
I believe the squad he took over at Spurs was certainly capable of top 6 and with some teams failing to hit their potential we took advantage to progress further, though in one of those season the progress SHOULD have been third but our top manager who some of you still worship focussed his attention elsewhere.
I dont care if he is god in your opinion, but he isnt in mine and that ''uterly ridiculous......'' FACT I alluded to gives a gist of my opinion that I am entitled to.

I'm fully aware of his short comings. But he's still head and shoulders above his successors.

Easy tiger.
Just because we have the hump that we've gone backwards since he left, don't call us racist.

Well, perhaps the Ashtons and Samuels of this world, then. They write for the Daily UKIP. Furthermore, Mr Farage would be très upset at your inference of racism towards his party. I was thinking more along the lines of a distaste for Continental managers.

I hadn't noticed any dandruff on Messrs Villas Boas and Pochettino.

Blimey, Matzdorf gave me a spam! I hadn't figured he was part of The Cult of Harold. Such an intelligent contributor. Well, you never know in life, or " that's football" as our captain would say.

Not from me. I have a distaste for flash in the pan trendy manager of the month types.
Of which I think both AVB and Pochettino both are.

I certainly believe that encapsulates British guys too.
I think most English players are garbage.

please just f**k off Levy
profit before trophies
tottenham won't get champs lge football while Levys got a hole in his arse
who else sacks a manager for getting 4th place twice in 3 seasons
negative post but realistic we have gone backwards

It's difficult to know how to use the ratings system when I want to click both 'dislike' and 'agree'.

You could quote them in separate posts, click on the appropriate one for each. Simples!

What still makes it utterly ridiculous is the FACT that under Redknapp we played the best football we have played since the 80s and Keith Burkenshaw's reign - our last 'golden' era of football at The Lane.

And that his QPR side have, at times this season, looked a better team than ours.

Aside from the game where we beat them and perhaps 20-mins during the Liverpool game we look atrocious and it's clear that our manager doesn't know what his best starting 11 - or bench - is.

Anyway, as you say, you're entitled to your opinion but I just can't fathom how some fans seem to dislike the man so much they can't at least give him the props he's due for the almost-three seasons of at times excellent and mostly exciting football he delivered rather than the frankly dull and hapless bilge we've been watching since he left.

 

[Shadydan]

QPR haven't looked better than us this season, at all.

 

[UbeAstard]

Its OK looking good in a league were you have better players than everyone else. When QPR look better than us in the prem its OK for you to remind me.
Yes we played some good football with Rednapp but dont keep believing all would be a bed of roses if he was still here. That squad with entertaining worldclass footballers (Bale, Modric, VDV) was broken up as those players wanted to leave or were past their best (VDV), so we would still have the issues of new players gelling. I dont beleive Rednapp has in him a system of football to exceed the capabilites of the squad and I can see why we would try to find someone who does as we are trying to break into the top 4 without their resources (though I beleive the main reason he is gone was due to his off field (or bench) antics.
